Quick question on slotting active defense with membranes

When you slot this with membranes is there a large difference if at all in DDR if the enhancement is even level compared to +1 or +2? If so how much of an increase?

Sorry in advance if this has been answered before and thanks for any responses

I don't remember it being answered before. I assume you're three-slotting it?

17.3% base

3 +0: 20% * 3 = 60% before ED, 56 + (0.15*(60-60)) = 56% after ED, 17.3% * 1.56 = 26.99%
3 +1: 21% * 3 = 63% before ED, 56 + (0.15*(63-60)) = 56.45% after ED, 17.3% * 1.5645 = 27.07%
3 +2: 17.3% * 1.5690 = 27.14%
3 +3: 17.3% * 1.5735 = 27.22%
So... not much difference if I'm calculating it right. Probably more so if you two-slot, but still probably not very large. Only worth it if you're rich and have mental problems that don't let you settle for anything but the best. (Yes, I'm slotting 53s.)

I'm currently slotting 3 50s in active defense and with 3 lvl50 cytos in Battle agility and running grant cover, I get 92.57% (iirc) DDR if AD is double-stacked. I have mental problems Werner related, but not the inf, yet. I'll consider adding a forth (for a 50) slot vs using 51++'s. I guess to answer your question if you really want that magic 95% DDR with only 3 slots you'll probably have to use higher level Hami's in all spots. I think this maybe part of the reason Castle adjusted the DDR values for the set: still possible to cap, but now even MOAR marginal.
